V ARIOUS performance analyses for parallel robots manipulators comprising a fixed base platform and a
payload platform linked together by three independent,
have been proposed in the literature. Early
identical, and open kinematic chains (Fig. 1).
investigations of robot workspace were reported by Merlet
The DELTA parallel robot consists of a spatial parallel
[2], Kumar and Waldron [3], Tsai and Soni [4], Gupta [1]
structure with three degrees of freedom, and is driven by
and Roth [5], Sugimoto and Duffy [6], Gupta [7], and
three revolute actuators. The platform is connected with
Davidson and Hunt [8]. The consideration of joint limits in
each drive by two links forming a parallelogram, allowing
the study of the robot workspaces was presented by Delmas

workspace are reported by Agrawal [9], Gosselin and
Angeles [10], Cecarelli [11]. Various numerical methods
for determination of the workspace of parallel robots have
been developed in the recent years. For example, Stan [14]
presented a genetic algorithm approach for multi-criteria
optimization of PKM (Parallel Kinematics Machines).
The majority of numerical methods used for parallel
manipulator workspace boundary determination typically
rely on manipulator’s pose parameter discretization. [15,
16]. With the discretization approach, the workspace is
envisioned as the uniform grid of nodes in Cartesian or
polar coordinate system. Each node is then examined in
order to determine whether it belongs to the workspace or
not.
The paper presents several contributions. First, the paper
introduces some evaluation index metrics as the
